net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization
of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the
initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise
it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy
extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true
if the key got initialized.
The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so
it needs some further explanation why this actually works:
=== In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have ===
no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with
STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of
the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is
initialized like this:
___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) }
The check
if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \
expands into (pseudo code)
if (!likely(___done_key > 0))
, so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the
helper function.
=== If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends ===
on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in
jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden
and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called
before that!
At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of
net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we
need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs):
71: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
76: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to
call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above.
arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and
actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction
stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we
initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site
will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks
like this:
if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \
___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \
expands to
if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key)) \
___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \
So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called
on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path.
static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized
with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the
branch is replaced with a nop again.
=== Misc: ===
The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't
have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean
(___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before
the increment happend.

net_get_random_once(intrduced in the next patch) uses static_keys in
a way that they get enabled on boot-up instead of replaced with an
ideal_nop. So check for default_nop on initial enabling.
Other architectures don't check for this.

Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used
before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init
reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could
have unforeseen consequences.
Following primitives are now checked for correct use:
* static_key_slow_inc
* static_key_slow_dec
* static_key_slow_dec_deferred
* jump_label_rate_limit
The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop
was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It
will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this.
Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to
transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures
did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the
static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner.
All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check
does no harm to performance.
The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk.
Based on a patch from Andi Kleen.

configuration. Genereally the function returns 0 when a command is
recognized, and -EINVAL when it is not. However, in the switch for link

To make its behavior more compliant with the way this API should be

tipc_block_bearer() currently takes a bearer name (const char*)
as argument. This requires the function to make a lookup to find
the pointer to the corresponding bearer struct. In the current
code base this is not necessary, since the only two callers
(tipc_continue(),recv_notification()) already have validated
copies of this pointer, and hence can pass it directly in the
function call.
We change tipc_block_bearer() to directly take struct tipc_bearer*
as argument instead.

TIPC 'bearer' exists as an abstract concept, while 'media'
is deemed a specific implementation of a bearer, such as Ethernet
or Infiniband media. When a component inside TIPC wants to control
a specific media, it only needs to access the generic bearer API
to achieve this. However, in the current media implementations,
the 'bearer' name is also extensively used in media specific
function and variable names.
This may create confusion, so we choose to replace the term 'bearer'
with 'media' in all function names, variable names, and prefixes
where this is what really is meant.
Note that this change is cosmetic only, and no runtime behaviour
changes are made here.
